• Huo Lian continued attacking Kui Yong, who dodged to wear him down while claiming Huo Lian’s power depended on a forbidden art.

• Huo Lian slashed at Feng He again, and Feng He’s internal power surged enough for him to narrowly evade the strike.

Huo Lian’s aura started to strengthen, though his true qi was still running rampant, leaving his allies worried about his recovery and the next clash with Kui Yong.

• Huo Lian's aura gradually strengthened, but Huang Xiao sensed that his true qi was in disarray and watched closely without intervening.
• Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly and the others worried that Huo Lian might not recover fully before Kui Yong returned to face them at full strength.

Huo Lian recovered from the backlash of using the Sixth Stage of Heavenly Demon Disintegration and warned that he could not defeat Kui Yong at full strength.

• Huo Lian woke after three shichen and assured Huang Xiao, Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly, and the others that his strength would recover.
• Fan Zhuolang praised Huo Lian as the second greatest under heaven, but Huo Lian warned that his power would not be enough against Kui Yong at full strength.

• Wu Xuancang asked how they could guard the reinforced formation, and Huo Lian admitted he could no longer enter it or match Kui Yong once Kui Yong recovered.
• Xuan Tu reasoned that Kui Yong needed time to heal and regain his strength, while Leng Guhan noted the Demon Hall was waiting for the Soaring Immortal Fruit to ripen.
• Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly asked whether they therefore no longer needed to stay and guard the fruit.

The group decided to guard the Divine Beast Holy Land in rotating shifts and prepare formations to delay Kui Yong until the Soaring Immortal Fruit ripened. Xuan Tu then privately summoned Huo Lian and Huang Xiao and began setting up soundproof formations before speaking.

• Huo Lian argued that the group needed to keep watch because Zhu Fancheng might cause the formation to break early or the Soaring Immortal Fruit to ripen ahead of schedule.
• Xuan Tu proposed that one of the strongest fighters stay at the Holy Land, and he agreed to guard it himself while the others took turns.

• Huo Lian proposed one-month guard shifts and asked to serve fourth so he could continue recovering from his injuries.
• Xuan Tu asked Huo Lian and Huang Xiao to speak with him privately, then set up several Soundproof Formations.

• Xuan Tu confirmed that Huang Xiao had learned the Longevity Chapter and explained that his own knowledge came from Zuo Qiu Yi.
• Xuan Tu said Huo Lian had only scratched the surface of the Longevity Chapter and had not ignited his heart fire.
• Xuan Tu explained that Xuanyuan Jade Butterfly did not know the scripture’s secrets because Zuo Qiu Yi had not shared them with her.
• Huo Lian asked Xuan Tu to guide them on the Longevity and Imperishability Chapters, but Xuan Tu said he knew too little to help much.
• Xuan Tu told Huo Lian that he might never be able to ignite his heart fire.
